Plate and Options Guide
- Confused by all the different options and combinations? Welcome
to our Plate and Options Guide. Here you'll find a complete listing of
both standard and optional equipment with a guide as to which plates
hold can hold what to help you both price out your fuel cell and
decide on a design.
4X6 Plate - A standard 4X6 plate is
used either for smaller cells, such C.O.R.R.
and other small cells, or used in conjunction
with another plate, like another 4X6 for a
Dual Fill Assembly. They can hold up to
three fittings (a pickup, return, and check
valve) and one fill (either 2 1/4" or 3").
4X7 Plate - Slightly larger than a 4X6
plate this is your moderate plate. It can
be equipped with up to 4 fittings or
equipped with a sender. Like the 4X6 it
can be used in conjunction with another
plate for Dual Fill Assemblies with a
sender.
6X10 Plate - These are our largest
plates. They can be equipped with up to
8 fittings, a sender, or a single plate Dual
Fill Assembly. Most fitting and option
combinations will fit a single 6X10 plate.

Fittings and Check Valves
- All together there are 5 different size fittings we offer (-4, -6, -8, -10, and -12).
The purpose for all these different sizes is that each allows a certain amount of fuel to
flow through them. Below is a quick guide as to finding the right fitting.
Like the fittings there are 8 different size check valves (-6, -8, -10, -12, 1", 1 1/4", 1 3/4", and 2") that serve different purposes
depending on the fuel cell. The larger check valves are designed for a large flow of air while fueling and racing. The reason for so
many sizes if for different vent configurations. Because of their design all of our check valves are guaranteed not block air flow
while fueling.

Collectors - Collectors do just what their name implies; they collect fuel inside the cell within a smaller "mini" cell using check
valves that allow fuel into it, but not out. They're most commonly used as individual units placed inside single, complete cells
without a tunnel. However, dual collectors can be used with tunnel cells that both use and don't use remote pickups. If you're not
sure about getting a collector just call, e-mail, or fax us with the design and area of use (i.e. stadium racing, baja, etc.) and we'll
give you an honest answer.
Senders - Senders are becoming more and more popular as people begin to understand the advantage they give a driver.
Whether racing or not senders monitor your fuel level and display that in the fuel gauge. Our senders can be attached to most fuel
gauges which allows them to be installed in almost any fuel cell. We normally only install them on fuel cells equal to or larger than
10 gallons but can place them in smaller cells upon request.
Dual Fill Assembly systems are designed, primarily, for
the racer enthusiast. They can be installed on one
6X10 plate or two 4X6 or 4X7 plates. The fill necks
can either come straight up and our of the cell,
perpendicular to the plate, or at a 45 degree angle (90
degree angle is an option upon special request). They
come with a standard 1 3/4" check valve to handle the
increased air flow and are guaranteed not to block off
air flow when fueling.
Quick Fill Assemblies are similar to a Dual Fill Assembly
in that it allows increased fuel flow into the cell and
increase air flow out of the cell. They are an alternative
to a dual fill system because they only use one 3" fill and
one 1 1/4" check valve. When added to a Dual Fill
Assembly the 1 3/4" check valve is replaced with the
larger 2" check valve for the best possible air flow. And
like our Dual Fill Assemblies the check valve is
guaranteed not to block off air flow when fueling.
Remotes - Simply said, a remote is any
piece of equipment that is not directly
attached to a plate. The word "Remote" is
used to describe the type of fitting or
where the specific equipment might be
located. For example, a Remote Sender is
a sending unit that is not attached to a
parent plate. Instead it stands alone with
its own nutring and hardware. They are
not normally used, except for Remote
Pickups, and are usually only suggested for
unique designs.
- Remote Pickup - any of the -4 through -12 size fittings that is placed either
on the bottom or side (for tunnel designs) of the cell and picks up fuel from
the bottom (or side). It traditionally does not use a hose to pick up fuel
through the top plate. A filter must be connected to the lines before fuel
enters the combustion chamber. It is also recommended for use with a
collector for the best possible performance.
- Remote Sender - a sender that is not attached to a parent plate and stands
alone with its own hardware. It is usually only reserved for Single Dual Fill
6X10 Plates and on designs where another plate would not fit or be
practical.
- Remote Check Valve - a check valve that stands alone with its own
hardware. Seldom used, they are reserved for custom cells where space on
the plate is non-existent and means of another plate would prove impossible
or too impractical.
